Mr.. a. 4. McKELvEr is one OF tho most
popu!nrmon in Belmont county. So is he
ono of the most solid and intelligent.
Since he left Wheeling 10 bscome q Bsl-
mont county farmsr he has thoroughly
identified himself with that interest, Of
which hc is nov recognized representa-
tive.
In the farmere' clubs and institutes he Is
one OF the men slways listened to with re.
Bpsct, for he is careful to know what no is
going to talk abou! before he talks about
it. Mr.. Mckelvey ID known also Es citi-
zsn informed on public questions and in
teres.ed in every work for the public
good. In short he is good specimen Of
the educated American farmer.
1t is because Mr.. McKelvey is jail this
and is known to be allIthis that an uucloan
plot has been hatched over the river to
cast dlscredit upon him and lose him
votes among the wage.earners. Some in
tsreating correspondence in another col.
umn shows tho attempt and the facility
with which the scheme is knocked in the
head. There ia not page in tho life his
tory Of this modest and estimable man to
which any wage-earner would make any
objection if it were all before him aB an
open book. s -.
All hiu life long Mr.. McKelvey has been
an industrious man, and be spent many
years as waga-earnor. In the Lsgisls-
ture Of Ohio he will Represent with rare
intelligence and with equal industry all
the interests Of Belmont county. The dis.
graceful attempt to harm him will recoil
upon tho party in whoso behalf it was
done. The American people love fair
play, end lying about nominee for Office
is not that kind OF play. a.s

Dun friends along the river on the other
ride DO themselves honor in honoriug
John Sherman. In his long public career
Senator Sherman has served faithfully
and brilliantly, his State and his country.
He has put himself in the front rank Of
the d'ss!atesmen. There is no public
question with which he is not familiar
and none which he does not adorn in pub
lie discussion.
On the tariff question, go near to the
hearts Of our friends over the river, sena.
tor Sherman is sound and able. He etsndu
on the right side and he maintalns 1t with
force and eloquence, an he does every
cause he espouses. Wherever this great
man appears he is worthy Of being re-
ceived with the highest honor and the
warmeat hospitality.
